SAN FRANCISCO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Telmate announces the issue of a new patent for inmate location tracking
in detention environments. The third largest and fastest growing inmate
communications provider in the U.S., Telmate is a leader in customer
service and cutting-edge technologies, including video visitation,
secure messages, mobile applications and investigator tools. The
company’s technology is currently deployed in over 250 facilities in
nearly every U.S. state as well as four Canadian provinces.

“This new patent is a testament on how communications systems are
becoming an indispensable part of keeping correctional institutions
running efficiently, securely and safely”

The new patent for Individual Location Tracking In Detention
Environments (U.S. Patent No.: 8,761,360) will provide automatic jail
management system (JMS) updates regarding an inmate's assigned room.
When an inmate successively logins at a location different than what is
contained in their record, further authentication will be required using
a biometric tool. If the biometric authenticates successfully, the
inmate's record is then updated accordingly to reflect their current
location.

“This new patent is a testament on how communications systems are
becoming an indispensable part of keeping correctional institutions
running efficiently, securely and safely,” says Chief Marketing Officer
Jeff Hansen. “This new technology helps alleviate hours of manually
entering the information into JMS regarding inmate’s locations, so
correctional officers can focus on what’s more important to them ---
security and control.”
